10. Summary of new results of the thesis:

Finding 1:During the Kamakura period or the early Le Dynasty, land was still considered the most basic type of property that the government cared about. This was also the type of property commonly used for inheritance relationships.

Finding 2: Success and failure are the test of time.is a legal document issued by the Kamakura Shogunate to create a legal basis, protect the economic foundation of the samurai class and balance power with contemporary forces.

Finding 3:With the development of the Kamakura government, property ownership and management were consolidated into the position of the eldest son. The economic independence of women in samurai families became increasingly weak and they gradually became dependent on their husband's samurai family.

Finding 4:The feudal system of the Kamakura Shogunate was based on a deeply decentralized lord-vanquished relationship. This relationship became stronger and more cohesive as it experienced internal conflicts, but it became vulnerable after being influenced by overseas armed forces.

11. Practical application:

- These research results will suggest approaches to studying other laws of the later shogunates for my own research and that of my students...

- Used as a reference material for teaching the subject of Medieval Japanese History.

12. Further research directions:

- Research on divorce regulations, the main subjects are women in the Kamakura period, from the perspective of gender

- Research on Japanese feudalism from the perspective of property inheritance
